Hi sammy! Firstly a massive well done to you and little Ethan for being so brave!
Just reading your first post and it took my back to the night my little girl was rushed in, exactly the same circumstances. And I too crumbled to pieces. The fact that you witnessed your baby almost be taken away to then have this whirlwind of fast track learning with something so complexed is a struggle for most.
we are 9 months in from her diagnosis. She is doing amazing and now it’s just become a second nature. She’s now on the insulin pump which has improved her confidence massively. I still have times when I feel guilt but that’s what mums do over anything. hypos and hypers, finger pricking can all be managed with my eyes closed now! And you will get there too. Please ask your sons diabetes team about some support with your struggles. They offer a psychologist and councillors for all the family.
